Progress is slow... too many other projects on...

Stripping discs on a grinder (the plastic mesh type ones) seem to be the best way to get the residue off after scraping... Found a few pin-holes but overall the floor looks very good for 36 years old. Rollover jig bought from BonusRocco is coming in very handy.

*Cough* . Exposed steel on a MK 1 over any period of time, especially the lower bit. Very brave :hi:

Looking good Mike. Nothing like getting covered in a blizzard of fluffy underseal!

Very impressed with the panel beater's results, must have been fascinating to watch such skill.
